Multiwall Paper Bags: Design and Style for Different Applications


“Why are multinational corporations like DHL and Amazon increasingly adopting multiwall paper bags for their logistics operations?”
At a 2023 global supply chain conference, VidePak’s CEO Ray Chiang answered decisively: “Multiwall paper bags reduce transit damages by 37% while cutting warehouse space usage by 22%, achieved through three strategic design pillars: ergonomic handling features, intelligent stacking architecture, and IoT-enabled tracking systems.”

As global logistics networks face unprecedented pressure to balance efficiency with sustainability, VidePak’s multiwall paper bags have emerged as a transformative solution. With 16 extrusion lines and ISO 15378-certified pharmaceutical-grade production zones, the company has redefined bulk packaging for the digital age. Let’s explore how these bags optimize modern supply chains.


1. Logistics-Centric Engineering: Beyond Basic Protection

1.1 Ergonomic Handling Innovations

VidePak’s designs address four critical pain points in material handling:

1. Lift Points

  • Reinforced Grab Handles: 3-layer kraft/PP composite withstands 500+ lifts
  • Angled Bottom Panels: 15° slope enables forklift-friendly engagement

2. Surface Optimization

  • Anti-Slip Coatings: Silicone microdots (2.5/mm² density) reduce drop rates by 41%
  • RFID Zones: 100×50mm polyester patches for scanner-friendly positioning

Case Study: A Japanese automaker reduced parts damage by 58% using VidePak’s angled-bottom bags in their Just-In-Time system.

1.2 Stacking Intelligence

Moisture Resistance≤0.8g/m²/24hr≤2.5g/m²/24hr

The 8:1 height-to-diameter ratio allows safe 12-meter stacking—critical for Amazon-style high-bay warehouses.


2. Material Science: The Durability Equation

2.1 Layer Configuration

VidePak’s 5-ply construction outperforms conventional 3-ply designs:

  1. Outer Kraft (120gsm): 18% TiO2 coating for UV resistance
  2. Barrier Film (25µm): EVOH layer with OTR <5cc/m²/day
  3. Burst Layer (90gsm): Cross-laminated PP with 45kPa strength
  4. Cushioning Foam (3mm): EPE shock absorption
  5. Inner Liner (80gsm): FDA-compliant PE coating

Innovation Spotlight: The proprietary foam layer absorbs 82% of impact energy (ASTM D1596), crucial for fragile electronics transport.

100×1501,8003,400

*Dynamic Load = 2.1×SWL as per ISO 2234 vibration testing


3. Warehouse Revolution: Smart Packaging Integration

3.1 Automated Identification Systems

VidePak’s partnership with Honeywell has yielded:

  • QR Code Optimization: 20% faster scanning via high-contrast printing
  • NFC Temperature Loggers: 90-day data storage for cold chain validation
  • UV TTI Indicators: Colorimetric freshness tracking (FDA 21 CFR Part 11)

3.2 Space Optimization Features

  • Collapsible Design: Reduces empty bag volume by 68%
  • Interlocking Flaps: Enables 97% pallet coverage vs 89% industry standard
  • Vertical Ribs: 12mm corrugations prevent sidewall collapse

The 12-cycle reusability was validated in 2023 trials with Maersk’s containerized grain shipments.


5. FAQ: Solving Real-World Challenges

Q: How do you prevent edge tearing during robotic handling?
A: Our 10mm thermoplastic reinforcement strips (TRS) along all edges withstand 25N/mm peel forces (EN 14410).

Q: What certifications support pharmaceutical logistics?
A: Full compliance with USP <671> and EU GMP Annex 1 for sterile transport.


6. Future Trends: Autonomous Logistics Compatibility

VidePak’s R&D team is piloting smart warehouse solutions featuring:

  • Auto-Folding Seams: Robotic-compatible origami patterns
  • Pressure-Sensitive Zones: 5kPa threshold indicators for load monitoring
  • Biodegradable Coatings: 180-day soil decomposition (ASTM D6400)
